Default remove injector plug? how do you do this?
Hi guys, Stupid question--is there a trick to removing the plugs on top of each injector? What am I missing here..I don't want to just pry these off, Is there a special tool?

Use a small, pointy tool of your choice to disengage the wire clip from the body of the connector. The connector will then come right off. Takes a few tries to get the knack.

Ive broken a spring or two out of their rear clip by prying an end out. Pew! Gone.

Now I just rock em side-to-side while pulling. These type A EV1s aren't really designed to be "released". They'll pop off.
